Jump into the heart of Ria Formosa on a thrilling full-day tour from Albufeira, cruising through picturesque villages and vibrant landscapes in an open-top 4x4. Experience the bustling life of Olhão and enjoy a relaxing boat ride through Ria Formosa, with a stop at an island along the way. Santiago, one of our local expert guides, is a really big fan of how this tour shows off this part of Portugal in an adventurous way. The 4x4 you'll use immerses you more into the locations you'll visit a lot better than a bus or minivan would. Plus, since it's open-top, you don't have to worry about window glare when you're taking pictures while you're on the move.
Hop aboard your open-top 4x4 and begin your adventure in the Loulé Hills, an idyllic setting to take in the rural charm of the Algarve. There's a pitstop at a local café so you and pause to take in the green fields peppered with white-washed houses and winding roads. Then, you'll head on to the Ria Formosa's diverse ecosystems and learn about the sustainable practices that help preserve the area's unique environment. Hear about salt extraction and microalgae cultivation – vital for maintaining biodiversity and supporting the local economy.
Next, you'll change perspectives and see the Ria Formosa from the water. On a boat tour your guide will tell you all about the local wildlife and oyster farming in the area, plus there's a chance to hop off at Armona Island. Round off the day with a visit to the town of Olhão, a lively centre of fishing and maritime traditions. Here, stroll through bustling markets filled with fresh seafood, mingle with the locals or grab some unique souvenirs.
